0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 4>Was taking us, joining us today after.

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Tearing a grown man to shreds yesterday at the convention,

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>tell us what happened?

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. I saw Mike Lindell and I asked him a

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 5>respectful and quick question. But he got mad and acted

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 5>like the big bad wolf and decided to take it personally.

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 5>He started to get all up in my face? What

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 5>was taking twelve?

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Big twel He got a big old man, got in

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>a big twelve space. I wish no, no, no, no,

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you would.

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.919
<v Speaker 5>So that's what happened after that, before the swinging, Yeah,

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 5>and then I asked him a few questions. He couldn't

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 5>even respond to He had no real answer whatsoever except

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 5>for his personal grievances. I ended up fact checking him later.

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 5>Everything he said was completely false.

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.759
<v Speaker 4>And never happened. What was the question? Do you remember? Question?

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>To him?

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 5>I said, why are you denying the results of a

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 5>completely fair and free election?

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 4>Okay?

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.120
<v Speaker 5>And he started naming these people with the names and

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.759
<v Speaker 5>the fancy names. But he didn't give me a last name,

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 5>and I couldn't. All he said was the first name.

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 5>He said, I didn't want to give their public name

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 5>out there. If you're an elected official, your name should

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 5>be out there, right, especially if you're representing me in

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 5>my state of Georgia, you I should know your name right.

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 5>So he didn't want to provide any of that. So

0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 5>it was almost impossible to fact check.

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Governor of Georgia. What got you into politics?

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 4>Young man?

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 5>Stacey Abrams, who just walked by us.

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.519
<v Speaker 4>Was energized by her campaign. Energized by her campaign. I

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 4>love that.

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 6>Where do you go to school?

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 4>Homeschool or yo?

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 6>You got a great teacher whoever.

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 3>They camera taking pictures A proud no. I want to

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 3>say that you have done what so many of the

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 3>mainstream media have failed to do. You asked the poignant questions.

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 3>I saw the video when you demanded that he cite

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 3>his sources uh and held him accountable. So I'm so

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 3>impressed with you. What what do you I know Charlotatne

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 3>has has spoken into that you will be the governor.

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 4>I'd like to speak.

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 2>That over you as well.

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 3>There is there something other ambitions that you have in

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 3>your life?

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:46.919
<v Speaker 7>Oh?

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah.

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 5>I would love to continue to be able to promote

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 5>the Democratic Party and all of their accomplishments. But other

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 5>than that, I want to continue.

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Doing what I'm doing. Does it hurt you that you

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:57.640
<v Speaker 2>can't vote?

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.959
<v Speaker 7>You that you you six years away from any to vote.

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.800
<v Speaker 5>I can't encourage folks to vote, So that's enough for me.

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 5>I can one thing you can't do. You can do

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 5>when you can't vote. You can walk in the polls

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.239
<v Speaker 5>with people. So I can walk into the polls of

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 5>hundreds of family members, and I that it counts just as.

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 4>Much if you could.

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.560

<v Speaker 5>great way of energizing the country, and her policy platform

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:46.240

<v Speaker 4>I'm doing all right? Great.

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 2>So you met Noah at the feet of this here,

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 2>no I met him at the White House.

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, know about this life, He's everything about it. Tell

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 4>us how you prepared for Monday night, Congresswoman.

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh, there was a nominal speech.

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 7>There was a lot of drama, Solf, thank you so much.

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 7>So I won't go into all that it took, but

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 7>what I will say is that in the moments that

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 7>I was supposed to be getting on stage. It's the

0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 7>first time I've ever gotten nervous. So for two hours,

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 7>I was actually getting physically sick. I had to take

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 7>medication and everything, and so I was just nervous that

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 7>I would let her down, and I did not want

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 7>to let her down. And then, as we are making

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 7>history today, what most people don't realize is that Kamala

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 7>Harris was making history for me. At the same time.

0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:02.560
<v Speaker 7>There's never been a black woman freshman that has been

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 7>allowed to grace the stage of the DNC ever until.

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Me, and so it was a huge honor.

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 7>And at the same time, while I didn't want to

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 7>let her down, I also didn't want to foreclose on

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 7>opportunities for those coming behind me. And I knew that

0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 7>there were a lot of people that were probably like,

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 7>ain't no way you're gonna let the wild Wind do it.

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Ain't no way, y'all, that's the one we want to see,

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>oh man.

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 7>And so you know, as it relates to kind of

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.559
<v Speaker 7>the process, I felt like they was trying to sanitize

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 7>my speech a little bit. I was like, ah ahpke's

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 7>gotta stay.

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 7>The alliteration came out at least five times. It was

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.600
<v Speaker 7>pulled out five times, and then I put it back

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 7>in and I say, let me tell you something, This

0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:46.679
<v Speaker 7>is who I am.

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 2>This is what this speech is gonna be.

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.839
<v Speaker 7>Because the only reason anybody would want to see me

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:52.320
<v Speaker 7>on the stage, it ain't to see me.

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 2>It's to actually hear me be me. And so it

0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 2>was a bit of a fight. But you know, y'all

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 2>know I stand my ground. I appreciate you for doing that,

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.439
<v Speaker 2>and I and and again because I stood.

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 7>My ground, I also was nervous because then it's like, well,

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 7>you can't mess up, you can't funding the bag because

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.599
<v Speaker 7>you really said so strong and confidently in it.

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 2>And I am thankful that it was received seem where

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 2>you are.

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 6>Far from fumbling anything. By the way, anytime I've ever

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:21.839
<v Speaker 6>I've ever heard you, and I've i've spoken at these

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 6>conventions before, I know the exact process you were talking about,

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.719
<v Speaker 6>the edits that get made, and the fact that you

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 6>have to be I mean literally strong and as uh

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 6>Angela says all the time, tan toes deep uh and.

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:47.959
<v Speaker 4>What or down down guess what I'm not in all that.

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 4>So when I heard you sound, I was.

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Like that's.

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 4>Like a white man, I'm gonna go back on.

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.839
<v Speaker 6>Guess what, you can stay off, but I'm talking to

0:09:58.880 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 6>you now.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 4>And the point is.

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.599
<v Speaker 6>The point is is that first of all, you're not

0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.440
<v Speaker 6>the wild one, You're not the crazy one. You are

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:09.199
<v Speaker 6>the truth teller. Hey, and people can't always handle the truth,

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 6>so they like to throw all these terms out that

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 6>make us look different and strange and even in some

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 6>cases undeserving of the space. Not only did you deserve it,

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.439
<v Speaker 6>you owned it, you delivered, You did the just you

0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.520
<v Speaker 6>were supposed to do. And guess what, I believe you

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.079
<v Speaker 6>bought a lot more people's eyes to this campaign, to

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 6>what this is about and why do they need to

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 6>get out their vote and perform right, perform their duty,

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:36.079
<v Speaker 6>their civic duty. So a congresswoman, I said, Jaz a congresswoman,

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 6>I couldn't thank you enough, and I just want to

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 6>encourage you every day of the week to continue to

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 6>be that right. Every Congress deserves a truth seller. Every

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 6>Congress at least one.

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 2>I can ask the question, I you know.

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 3>We opened the show tonight with a Georgia State rep

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 3>of Palestinian descent speaking about the protests and the plight

0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 3>that's happening.

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 2>Something has made me a bit un comfortable with this.

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.839
<v Speaker 3>I'm so excited and I've been so full of celebration

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 3>with having a me and us points to lead this country,

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.439
<v Speaker 3>and then I was torn as we drove past protesters

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:16.079
<v Speaker 3>last night, and it just feels like this push and

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.880
<v Speaker 3>pull because there's black women. Much like the CBC, we

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 3>are the constiest of the country, like the CBC is

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 3>noted as being in the conscious of the Congress.

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 2>For the people out there who.

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Feel some of that same torment with who want to

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 3>stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, and it seems

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 3>like the world has turned their back on them. I'm

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.320
<v Speaker 3>just curious what your thoughts are given the division, all

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.000
<v Speaker 3>the diversity we've seen, and yet this division remains so

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 3>pronounced here.

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I'm gonna say that it's not an either or,

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.439
<v Speaker 2>it's an end. Yes, you know.

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 7>The issue that I have is that I think that

0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.280
<v Speaker 7>we need to go ahead and be real about the

0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 7>fact that anyone that is uncomfortable with suffering is actually

0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 7>just being human.

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:00.440
<v Speaker 2>That is what it means to be human.

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 7>And I think that we should all, you know, hug

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.960
<v Speaker 7>each other and say, listen, this is what we should.

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 4>Be doing in a moment.

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Hey day, no, no, no, So I think that we

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 2>should say it is the right thing to do.

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 7>It is the morally right thing to do to care

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.199
<v Speaker 7>about suffering, not just as it relates to the Palestinians,

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.720
<v Speaker 7>but suffering anywhere. Because we can talk about the Suday

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 7>and we can talk about Congo, we can talk about

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.599
<v Speaker 7>the streets in the United States. We should all be

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.959
<v Speaker 7>compassionate about suffering in general. At the same time, this

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 7>is going to come down to two people. Somebody going

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 7>to be the president of the United States. It's either

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 7>going to be the guy or it's going to be

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.719
<v Speaker 7>the woman. And right now I can tell you that

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 7>it has to be the woman for me, and and

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.679
<v Speaker 7>that doesn't mean that you are going to agree with

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 7>her on everything. I think that this was elaborated in

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 7>a way by Michelle Obama. You know, we continuously seek perfection.

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:57.319
<v Speaker 7>One of the things that I used to say on

0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.560
<v Speaker 7>the trail all the time, specifically when I was out

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 7>there for and Biden, is that there is no perfection

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 7>walking on this earth. And I would definitely say it

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.000
<v Speaker 7>when I went to the Black Church, and I would

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 7>say we always want our preachers and our politicians to

0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.760
<v Speaker 7>be perfect, and neither one will be. You will always

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.599
<v Speaker 7>be let down. But we are supposed to fight for

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 7>a more perfect union. And fighting for a more perfect

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 7>union means that you continuously engage in conversation.

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 2>And communication and you move the needle. Let me tell

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:25.600
<v Speaker 2>you something.

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.400
<v Speaker 7>There was a point in time that nobody would have

0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.440
<v Speaker 7>ever imagined that Joe Biden would do anything on student

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 7>loan debt forgiveness.

0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.560
<v Speaker 2>And who led the way on it. It was Joe Biden.

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:36.959
<v Speaker 7>But guess what, there were people that were pulling him

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.199
<v Speaker 7>and telling him that that was the right thing to do.

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.199
<v Speaker 7>So I'm just saying I need them to understand that

0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.679
<v Speaker 7>we can't sit this out because the suffering that we

0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 7>see and Gaza is only going to get worse if

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.959
<v Speaker 7>Trump ends up being the one that ends up in position.

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 7>Because let me tell you, they have been on the

0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.600
<v Speaker 7>house floor and they have specifically said just go nukem.

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.079
<v Speaker 7>That is what they said. And you won't find that

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 7>on the news. You got to go to c Span

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 7>and you can see them talking about the people of Gaza.

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 7>I can tell you that we had three packages that

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 7>we voted on the first package was suggest send money

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.240
<v Speaker 7>over to Israel and defund the IRS. The second package

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 7>will suggest send money to Israel. The third package sent

0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 7>money to Israel, but it also sent aid to Gaza,

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.080
<v Speaker 7>it sent aid to Haiti, it sent aid to Taiwan.

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 7>It did more to make sure that we could also

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.960
<v Speaker 7>help those that are suffering. These people don't care about

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 7>people that are suffering. It's the same reason that they

0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 7>are only looking to do tax breaks for people that

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 7>are at the upper one percent, and they don't care

0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 7>about the people that need six dollars a day to eat.

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.920
<v Speaker 7>I'm trying to tell y'all that we don't need to

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.160
<v Speaker 7>vote against our interests. And it doesn't mean that either

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 7>one of the administrations will be great on everything that

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 7>you care about. But it is your job to push

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 7>an administration that at least somewhat closely aligns with their

0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 7>goals and push I'm closer to the finish line.

0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.440
